Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has left New York City for Tehran, having brought his five-day-long stay there for the United Nations General Assembly to an end.

Ahmadinejad left New York on Thursday and is expected to arrive in Tehran on Friday.

The Iranian president was in the US to attend the annual session of the General Assembly, held at the world body’s headquarters in the city.

In an address to the High-level Meeting of the 67th Session of the UN General Assembly on the Rule of Law at the National and International Levels, President Ahmadinejad called on Monday for a total structural overhaul of the UN Security Council in order to facilitate the observance of the rule of law in international interactions, and enumerated 10 proposals to that end.

In his second speech at the assembly, the Iranian chief executive on Wednesday criticized the existing global politics for discrimination, unilateralism, and double-standards.

This was Ahmadinejad’s eighth trip to New York for a General Assembly session since he took office in 2005.
